Eshelby's inclusion

ID: eshelby-s-inclusion

Eshelby's inclusion refers to a theoretical model developed by the physicist Eshelby in 1957 to describe the behavior of an elastic inclusion (a region with different mechanical properties) embedded in an elastic medium. The model is particularly useful in understanding how stresses and strains are distributed in a material containing inclusions, such as fibers in a composite material, voids, or other phases.
